I bought Life & Style this week for the cover story about “Why Sandra is Taking Jesse Back.” There wasn’t much new information in the article, which seemed to be solely based on the known facts that Jesse is moving to Austin to be near Sandra, and that he recently won a custody battle to be able to take his six year-old daughter, Sunny, with him. There were some bogus-sounding “insider” quotes about it, like “Sandra will never fully get over the way Jesse betrayed her… But he did give her the family she’s always wanted. And because of that, she’s able to forgive him,” and “It’s going to take some time. She’s very worried about what people will think if she takes Jesse back too fast. So she’s keeping it all about her children. That’s her excuse to see him.”
Judging from the very classy way that Sandra addressed her then-husband’s infidelity in her People interview, it’s hard to tell exactly how she feels about Jesse or if she’s considering a reconciliation. It’s probably safe to assume that there are no leaks in Sandra’s inside circle (apart from Jesse’s ex, Janine Lindemulder, who is deliberately kept out of the loop) as we never heard a peep about her adoption of little Louis until she was ready to make the announcement. We also know that Sandra and Jesse’s divorce is final, so they’ve made the split legal even if they’ve made up behind closed doors.
Now Radar Online has a new report to quash all those rumors that Sandra and Jesse are keeping their reunion under wraps. They quote a source who says that Sandra has “absolutely no intention of getting back together with Jesse, ever.” My hopes are up since Radar’s sources are usually pretty solid.
Jesse recently won a court victory against ex wife Janine Lindemulder, allowing him to take their daughter Sunny to Austin, Texas, where Bullock has a home and is spending much of her time. Jesse is moving because he wants his children to continue their relationship with Bullock and also because he hopes that he can reunite with Sandra.
Bullock did not try to dissuade Jesse from moving. “The only reason that Sandy gave the green light to Jesse move to Austin was because she wants to maintain a relationship with his children,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “Sandy loves those children but she has absolutely no intention of getting back together with Jesse, ever.
“She wanted the divorce done quickly, so that she could move on with her life.”
Jesse was caught cheating with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee and then several other women revealed their affairs with him.
Sandra’s main focus is on being a full-time mom to adopted son Louis, and having an active role in her step-children’s lives.
“Sandy is civil to Jesse for the sake of the children, that is it,” the source said. “If there were no children, Sandy would have nothing to do with him, period. And he knows that.”

Sadly for Sandra, she’ll have to see Jesse’s douche pit bull face when she wants to see her stepkids, but that’s no different than millions of women around the world dealing with their exes and custody. It’s a testament to how strong and magnanimous she is that she was willing to have him move closer to her. I would have liked to see an official statement from her camp denying a reunion and stating that the divorce shows her true feelings on the matter, but this will do.
By the way, Sandra’s 46th birthday was yesterday. I wish I knew the name of her dermatologist as I would pay big bucks to look a fraction as youthful and natural as she does. Don’t tell me it’s all hydration and sunscreen, either.
I do hope this is true. I like Sandra Bullock.
That aside in some of her pictures she looks like she’s had some work done.
Or maybe I’m just skewed because so many of them have had work done.
She won’t bring him back even if she’d still love him, considering that a move like this would certainly blow her career out. A high price to pay for such a moron.
I’m still wondering why she didn’t know he’s a sort of nazi douche…
I knew she was a very smart woman. I hoped that she didn’t get back with this dirt-bag loser, but when I started reading that she might take him back, I was like, “What the F*ck!!” Stand your ground Sandra, and tell Jesse to take a hike.
After the whole Louis thing, I don’t believe a single story that comes out about Sandra. It’s obvious her inner circle doesn’t say anything about anything, so any sources with info to spill are probably not on the inside and probably don’t know the whole truth. I really really hope she doesn’t take him back, but I think only time will tell with this one.
Smoke. Mirrors. Spin.
We may never know exactly what the deal is between those two.
omfg 46??????
Did she do something to her face? That’s insane!
She’s always had nice skin (“The Net” was on last night — 1995 — and you could see it back then that she’d age better than the average bear)…BUT she’s definitely been tweaked.
My money’s on cheek fillers and the usual (botox, various small lifting procedures here and there).
“She wanted the divorce done quickly, so that she could move on with her life.”
Um, no. More like she got the divorce done quickly so she could finalize the adoption of Louis as a single parent.
I don’t believe this story for a second. He followed her to Texas for a reason.
Adore Sandra Bullock. There is no way she would take that a-hole back. Jeez she was way too good for him to begin with. But love is blind….
As I mentioned on another thread, it’s about the kids. Some people really do put the kids first. It’s not easy to put aside the hurt and anger, but it does pay off in the long run.
I love that she’s willing to have a relationship with Jesse for those kids. She has no obligations to them what’s so ever (not legally). She loves them enough to do it. That my friends, is what we all true class.
If Sandra wanted to stay in the step kids lives, why did she immediately bolt from CA? Doesn’t sound like someone wanting to remain in their lives.
Her son Louis would be much better off without Jesse in his life. I mean really, if it is true she won’t accept him back I know for sure he will find himself some tattooed bimbo to live with and he will probably change his mind and won’t even bother taking his kids to see Sandra again.
S, that’s what I’ve been saying all along. If she managed to keep an adoption quiet, through the middle of awards season, there’s no way anyone from her camp talks to the press.
She does look amazing. I don’t know if she’s had work done or not, but whatever the case may be, she looks fabulous.
I never believed those stories. She is way too good for him.
She inspires me and many others. I am hoping she does not get back together with him. I am sure she still loves him, but Jesse James is way too messed up and Sandra Bullock may have her problems (we all do), but nothing like that freak show. I am happy for her and her baby, so may she move on and be blessed with many more wonderful things this world has to offer!!!!
Awww…pit bulls have sweet squishy faces…don’t compare them to d-bag Jesse James!
Interesting that this announcement comes right after his court date. It wouldn’t be surprising if they had an agreement. She stays low key about him publicly until he goes to court for custody. In return, maybe he stays low key about any involvement or awareness she had about any bigoted behavior.
If you’ve had a healthy lifestyle, it’s possible to look young without “work.” She looks like she’s had some work, but hopefully she will do it minimally because plastic surgery makes people look older and uglier and odd.
This whole mess still makes me so sad.
Hall. Aye. Lou. Yah.
I saw that cover too and just cringed and hoped for a miracle that there was no truth to it. Then I prayed no one would buy that tripe so that the Tabs would stop inventing such filth.
Active role in her step childrens lives? They arent her step children after divorce and they have their own moms. Granted Sunnys mom has her issues, she wants to be involved in her daughters life, and that should be supported. Why doesnt Sandra focus on her OWN child and let the other childrens mothers raise them in CA not Austin. How could anyone who says they have best interest of children in mind be ok with uprooting them all from their mothers, homes, state, schools etc? makes no sense. Either Sandra is selfish or she is planning on reconciling with Jesse.
@Kim, it was Jesse’s decision to move them out there. The mother of his older children is moving as well. Janine is the only one not moving.
From what I can tell, Sandra moved to get away form the paps and media and be able to raise Louis in a quieter atmosphere, or at least get him accustomed to it. Not to mention he is from New Orleans, and she is form TX. it’s going home for her.
The fact that she still wants to be involved in those kids lives says a lot about her.
But in the end her moving was the best decision for her, because as much as she may love those children, they aren’t hers and she needs to take care of herself first.
Agree with Obvious, plus Sandra had more of a mom relationship with Sunny than her real mom did. I don’t think the mother had custody the entire time Sandra was with Jesse, which was several years, and my understanding is that Sandra and Jesse basically raised Sunny.
I also suspect that the kids have already spent a great deal of time in Austin back when Sandra and Jesse were together, so it’s not like moving to a completely foreign place. And it would probably be very good for them to be away from the Hollywood scene and the media there.
I think she still loves him, it takes time to fall out of love wit someone. She did the right/responsible thing by divorcing him, but if they remain friends, I wouldn’t be surprised.
